RE: hello big puddle of coolant
Make sure that the car is cool. Make sure that the radiator is full.
Replacing the plastic tank or the hoses is very easy to do. First try to find the leak. Wipe off all coolant to help. Check the hose that goes from the radiator to the overflow tank for leaks. Also inspect the that drops from the overflow tank cap to inside of the tank.

RE: hello big puddle of coolant
seems to be just when the car is running. I moved it from one parking spot to another, (while car was still kinda hot) and checked this morning, there seemed to be a tiny puddle underneath. So do I take out the battery first, and then pull the overflow tank? thanks
